a Villains Fate.

CHICAGO, March IA Times special
from Hastings, Neb., says; DR.. w. w.
Randall, of this city, was arrested We'd
nesday night for committing a rape upon
the person of Miss Hart, of Edgar, an IL
year old girl who was placed under his
care for treatment. The crime was COM
mitted one week ago, and to day he was
arraigned. Just after the examination
closed and Randall had been placed under
5000 bonds, the brother of the girl
pulled out a revolver, and before any
person was aware of his intention, shot
Randall dead. He then turned and walked
out of the room and disappeared, and no
person has taken the trouble to look for
him, as the shooting is looked upon as
justiiable.
From the evidence produced it appears
as though Randall and his wife, who was
on trial with him, have made it a practice
to ruin young girls and her place them
in houses of i'll fame. Mrs. Randall is
now in custody of the sheriff. She is
quartered in her boarding house, which is
surrounded by a large mob, who, although
not violent, seemed determined to do
something desperate, and the chances are
that before morning she will have followed
her husband.

Charles Francis Adams Speaks.

SAdIlco IduCio AOhnlo OPGdho.
BosToN, March 9.-Charles Francis
Adams delivered an address tonight be-
fore the Commercial club. lie declared
that in all departments of the Union Pa
ci6c a fair, honest, intelligent and reason
able expression should be gwen every pro-
vision of the interstate act and
the results left to speak for themselves.
He acknowledged there were many abuses
in the present railway system that should
be remedled by legislation. He defended
the long and short haul provision, saying
it was just and should be a law.
In regard to the debated provision pro-
hibiting rebate, drawbacks and secret
arrangements, he did not hesitate to put
himself on record as saying it just and
should be a law. He declared the free
pass system an outrageous abuse and said
the most radical remedy should be applied
to it.
He declared the greatest defect in the
law was prohibiting pooling. He defend
ed the pooling system, and asserted that
it benefited the people as well as railroads.

A DARING ROBBERY.
United States Paymaster D. N.
Bush
Robbed of $500 at Antelope
Springs.
The Thief Known to be a Cow
boy Named Parker.
A Bold Robber.

Special Dispatch to TIKI LEADER.
DOUGLAS, March l9.-Particulars have
just been received here of the robbery of
United States Army Paymaster D. N.
Bush of 81, 800 at Antelope Springs. Maj.
Bush was en- route for Fort Niobrara to
pay off the troops there and stopped at
Antelope Springs to eat dinner, leaving
the valise containing the money in the
coach, which stood a few steps from the
building and in plain view of the major
and his escort. AS they sat at the table,
during the progress of the meal, a stranger
who had arrived at the station that morn
ing and was present when the stage came,
ran to the vehicle and seized the valise,
jumped on a horse standing near and was
off like the wind. The paymaster and
party sprang for their guns and ran out,
firing several shots at the flying desper-
ado, without effect. Mounting the stage
horses, they followed the fugitive, who
turned in his saddle and fired several
shots, which were returned by his pursu-
ers with interest. The robbers horse,
however, was far superior to those on
which the paymaster's party were
mounted, and he was soon lost to sight.
Following his trail the valise was found
from which the robber had removed the
money, also a pair of pants minus one leg,
evidently utilized by the fugitive as a
sack in which to carry his cash. The
thief is known to be a cowboy named Chas
Parker, who has been until recently on
the range on Cheyenne river. The money
taken amounted to 81, 800, $3.50 in silver,
the balance in bills. Mai. Bush offers a
reward of 81 900 for the capture of the
robher or return of the money

France Does Not Like 1t.

LONDON. March l9.-It is stated that
the new alliance between Germany, Aus
tria and Italy, places each of these pow
ers on al equality. All three will under
take the protection of individual interests,
the Infringement of which might disturb
the peace of Europe.
Annoyance is expressed in Paris that
the alliance between Germany, Italy and
Austria was signed while the attention oil
France was fixed upon Germany. A for
mer foreign minister of France said to q
correspondent of the London Times: !
should have shrunk from nothing to pre-
vent the signing OF this treaty, which |
consider the most serious and veIatious
event for us that has happened in the past
sixteen years.

A Prairie Fire.

GALVESTON, March IA special to
the Ne'cs reports one of the most extern
sive prairie fires raging in Bandera county
that has occurred for years. The fire
started in a large cedar brake and extend
over a wide area, carrying great desola-
ton. 1t has o been raging four days,
and has approached within u mile of
Bandera. All efforts to stop it have
proved futile. Thousands of dollars

sible to stop it until it reaches the Medina
river.
